However, I am disappointed that the target market is utility scale. Politics, rather than engineering will rule the day no matter what you do. Trust me, the powers that be won’t let you succeed. So why not scale down for residential applications? That’s an untapped global market too. Good luck with this. I hope you succeed.

And What about the thermal energy? When the light is focussed, al lot of energy is centralized on a small area, wouldn´t it heat up far too much?
